Microsoft Cortana has made its picks for the divisional round of the NFL playoffs

Microsoft Cortana — a virtual assistant that predicts the
outright winner of every NFL game on Bing — opened the
playoffs with a solid showing,
going 3-1 over wild card weekend.

The algorithm, which correctly picked 64% of games during
the regular season, only missed the Raiders-Texans game, unwisely
riding the Raiders despite the fact that Connor Cook hadn't ever
started an NFL game before.

After wild card weekend comes the divisional round of the
playoffs, when we finally see the four teams that earned first
round byes. Perhaps unsurprisingly, all four teams that earned
byes from their regular-season records are also favored by
Cortana and Las Vegas.

That doesn't, however, mean the games will all be blowouts.
Wild Card Weekend may have been, but this weekend's slate is much
more interesting. The Patriots may be heavy favorites (with one
of the biggest lines in NFL history, in fact), but the other
three games will all be much closer. Aaron Rodgers and the
Packers are red-hot entering Jerry World, and so is the
Pittsburgh offense. Don't ever count the Seahawks out of a
playoff game.
